Need trashed cruiser parts

[chainmaker]

I'm starting to collect parts for a winter project, I'm looking for some stuff.

1 pc crank Bottom bracket shell cut from any cruiser frame

Head tube and fork also cut from any cruiser style bike.

I have parts to trade or will purchase.

I have a boneyard full of dead bikes you could come over and just have but to cut 'em up and ship 'em makes little sense I think.

Try posting an ad on your local craigs list under bikes wanted and offer $10 for dead cruisers, check your local good will, and course the local bike stores and see what they have they would just give you.

I try all that stuff, freecycle, etc. We have tons of scams, oops semi legit charities that have an army of people around here who collect "donations" and the stuff usually gets sold for scrap, or gets put in a thrift store for only a few dollars less than new. Thanks, maybe that will help someone.

I have a new bottom bracket and head tubes that can be cut to the size you need for 1 1/8forks. Sorry no forks tho. Send me a PM and they are on me...

 

[culvercityclassic]

Jeff,
Thank you very much!

Just saw this. I have old dead Schwinns which I can cut. What size head tube do you need?

Thanks SB, Jeff is sending out the tubes, now I'm just looking for a couple 1 or 1 1/2 fork steering stems of the same length.

I used to have a saved seller on eBay that had them for .99 each and 9.99 shipping but I can't seem to find it.

Do you mean 1-1/8" steerer? I think I have a threaded one I could cut out of a bent fork if that would help.

 

[silverbear]

Not sure what you mean by steering stems. I may have what you need.

SB. This part of a pair of forks. http://www.bicycledesigner.com/bike-parts/bicycle-forks/steering-tube---cruiser-75.html I'm looking for 2 of equal length, doesnt matter the length. I could buy 2 but if there are a couple going unused somewhere all the better.

Thanks

I have this fork that I could cut the 1-1/8" threadless steerer out of and send to you. The fork blades are bent and therefore of no value:

Of search for steerer on this site:

Troy,
I have two Schwinn forks pictured below. The brown one is from a 51, the other is probably 1960's. Fork leg length are not quite the same, but the steering tubes are of the same length. 1" outside diameter, the steering tubes are 6 1/2" long. The threads are not buggered and that section is 1 1/4" long. You're welcome to them. I gave some other forks to Curtis fox he might not be using and I still have a few donor bikes not yet dismantled.

That's exactly what I need SB !

 

[silverbear]

Send me a PM with your shipping information and I'll get them off to you. I'm so glad you can use them.

After looking at the forks on a bigger non phone screen it looks like they wouldn't work, seems I'm going to need a couple of the newer ones with the sleeve welded around the stem right below the crown race. Like the ones sold at the big boxes, here is a picture. I hope you haunt taken the grinder to them yet.

 

[silverbear]

I haven't done anything to them. Figured I'd send the forks intact for you to butcher as you saw fit. Sorry they won't work out for you. I'd hoped to repay a bit your kindness to me. If you change your mind and see a way to make them work, let me know.

I'm still lolling for 1- 1 inch stem, if anyone has one.
